forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites

Hi, Earlier in the evening today Ralph, Fabian and I had a chat about the present state of the language subsites. This email sort of summarises the main issue ( s/w ). We seem to have run into a slight technical hitch with punbb/fluxbb. They dont support LDAP as a backend. And we had decided a few months back that all new rollouts must have ldap backend so we can rollin CentOS-DS / openldap based backend. So we need to look at alternatives, and since the primary focus of these international sites is going be forums : Here is a shortlist ( if there is anything else that people are aware of, please add to this list ) - phpBB - SMF - Fudforum - phorum - fluxbb Requirements: - Must be able to scale ( couple of hundred thousand msgs ) - Must be able to handle ldap auth ( if it cant, whats involved in writing the ldap-auth portion ) - Must address the specific requirements raised by the present www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? ) - Must support all languages we need ( pure utf8 support would be good ) - Secure - Skin'able Nice to have: - Capable of running multiple instances from a single deployment - responsive community :D Things we will need to do: - Decide on what s/w to use. - Give the ArtWork people enough time to get the look & feel sorted. - Migrate newbb forums from www.centos.org to $system ( hey, english is a language too :D ). - Migrate fr.centos.org into the final s/w - setup {de/es/ja/it/pt_br}.centos.org Actions: Ralph and Fabian are going to work on setting up a test ldap server, once that is online we will then start by installing into our test-vm-farm the various s/w to eval them. If anyone would like to help, please feel free to jump right in. I'll setup a wiki page for this issue, which might be a good place to track progress. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

I would like to get away from our current way of providing server authentication and implement CDS. I pretty much have the tools written to use CDS now, but I can not move forward untill it is out of a "testing" status in my environment. --- Jason Cox

Help offer on Sparc front
by Hugo van der Kooij 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have just received a SunBlade150 which I would like to put to good use. I understand there is a Centos port underway for the Sparc line. If it is possible to trash the harddisk and fill it with the bare stuff to make it work I am willing to lend access to the system for developers and also do some things myself. I am not a programmer but I can spot the incidental error and maybe fix a typo or at least do my best to provide serious feedback in attempts to capture, reproduce and solve issues. If there is a basic kit somewhere to turn the former Solaris machine and set it on the road to Centos 5 I am willing to add my weight and push the cart along.

presto / deltarpm
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

hi, The idea of yum-presto and deltarpm support on mirror.centos.org is something that seems to be worth visiting again. I am just wondering if there is anyone who would like to grab the issue, do the testing, workout whats involved and then try and come up with an implementation plan ? Would be good if you already knew how yum and repomd type repositories worked. Anyone interested and have the time ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

CentOS 5.x for Sparc?
by Michael Worsham 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Long ago, there was a CentOS build for Sparc under version 4.2 Beta. I checked for the torrents for either the DVD and CD binary or source isos, but no one is seeding that anymore as well. The old Sparc 4.2 beta repo was found here: http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.2beta/isos/sparc/ ... but that doesn't have enough information to even attempt a netinstall or a tftp/rarpd boot/install. Then just recently, I saw this CentOS announcement/post: "We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.2 for the i386 and x86_64 Architectures. [...] Further Arch support for PowerPC, IA64 and Sparc are planned and will be released soon. These arch's will follow the existing pattern of release to Beta first, and then to Final." Reference: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2008-June/014999.html So, my question is... when is a Sparc beta release going to be available for 5.x? -- Michael

xenpv drivers status
by Karanbir Singh 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

I wonder if anyone can check what is to become of the xenpv drivers that were recently released ( ref: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2008-0274.html ) They were not included on the 5.2 media... Are they still available from an EL5.2-from-media install via rhn or something such ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

options on voice conf calls
by Karanbir Singh 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

hi, We had a bit of a struggle with Skype today trying to get a few people talking about some infrastructure issues. And I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on what other options there might be ? Also, some people cant run VoIP / Skype from work so a normal telephone gateway would be nice to have as well. Did I mention people are located all over the world ? I recall Dennis setting up something for us a while back, but it seems to have gone away. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

So there is no unique contribution I can make there. I guess anyone can build a VOP box if they set their mind to it. There is another project which needs a lot more time of me. That is to build a free repo to support MailScanner. I found there are a number of conflicts between perl updates of Centos and rpmforge that seem to require that a number of packages are build by hand again but in a slightly different manner. For that I need a number of virtual machine to build and test all of this. So I am afraid I will not be able to work on the VOIP box soon.

rhwas php info
by Joe Pruett 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

i have determined that all the php-pear and php-pecl subpackages are from the extras repo, so they are not compatible with the rhwas stuff. i'm fine with that, but it would probably be nice if somehow those packages in the extra repo knew they were dependent on the base php and would get removed by yum when upgrading to the rhwas versions.

Webstack/ C5
by Karanbir Singh 24 Sep '08

The first lot of pkgs for webstack on CentOS-5 will start showing up on the testing repo shortly. Its setup to push packages every 12 hrs, so you will see some churn in the repo.

Hi Guys, Seems like the forums were down again today (although they've just recently come back up). I believe they were also down for a good chunk of time yesterday afternoon (UTC), and last Sunday too. Reports I've had from users say they get "very sluggish" before finally becoming totally unresponsive. Can anyone fill us in on what the problem is please as this seems to have been going on a while now? Thanks :)

Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone was interested in an addition to the "centos-ds-*" suite?

For details on the tool: http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DSGW_Install_Guide How do propose it as an inclusion in "Testing"?

CentOS on the Asus Eeepc ...
by Fabian Arrotin 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

We talked earlier on IRC about the Asus Eeepc I think the idea was to start a wiki page with at least informations regarding the Eeepc. So here it is : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Asus/Eeepc (not linked from the CentOS on Laptops wiki page yet though , still a draft ;-) ) I had to modify the installer initrd.img to include the atl2.ko module for the wired nic to install from my local mirror .. where do i store it ? on the wiki page itself, as an attachment ? a simple link to a tmp space on my website ? I'm now wondering what's the best way to include the atl2.ko module during setup : a rpm that will be fetched from centos extras (?) or a simple driverdisk ? Ideas & comments welcome ... -- - Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin(a)arrfab.net> "Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ..."

Missing header files from xulrunner-devel sdk package, bugs?
by hce 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hi, I've just installed xulrunner-devel from yum: # yum install xulrunner-devel The xulrunner-sdk-1.9 was installed, but there are following header files cannot be found in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/include: mozilla-config.h mozilla-config32.h prtypes.h The include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9 does constain mozilla-config.h and mozilla-config32.h, I fixed it by linking those two files in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/includ. The prtypes.h can only be found in following places: /usr/include/nspr4/prtypes.h /usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/system_wrappers/prtypes.h /usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/stable/prtypes.h I've tried to link either of the prtypes.h in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/include, but none of them works. At final, I failed to build VLC mozilla plugin linking to xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk. Am I missing something here, is there a correct xulrunner-devel sdk package I can download from? Or is it a bug in xulrunner-devel sdk package? Please advise how can I fix this problem? Thank you. Kind regards, Jim
